Who made Ruup possible
Ruup has its origins in an Estonian Academy of Arts interior architecture programme course for first year students, led by architects Aet Ader, Karin Tõugu, Kadri Klementi and Mari Hunt from architecture studio B210 and by Derelict Furniture designers Tõnis Kalve and Ahti Grünberg. The initial spark for Ruup came from Estonian author, semiotician Valdur Mikita and his dream of building a "forest library".
